True, but this is where the Boolean nature of traditional logic can really trip up a person trying to operate in the real world.
These "maybes" are on the table. They are probably not the case.
(You end up with a spread of likelihoods and have to decide what to do with them. And law hates a spread of likelihoods and hates decision-by-coinflips, so one can see how rhetorical traditions grounded in legal persuasion tend towards encouraging Boolean outcomes; you can't find someone "a little guilty," at least not in the Western tradition of justice).
